The Solar Sheath is a new technology under development I'm working on designed to create power from multiple sources using nanotechnology (light, radiation and thermal).

Phase one is complete (see exhibit) and I'm working on phase two.

Solar Gel BatteryEnergy capture & storage Since my proof of concept work in 2009 (above), there has been similiar research from 2013-2015 with Lithium batteries here

Nuclear Battery

There have been efforts to combine thin film solar cells, wrapped around batteries to provide a solution of generating and storing energy.

Another project I've been working on departs from this approach to the development of a gel that captures solar energy and stores it in a transparent shell.

Not withstanding, nuclear batteries have been evolving as well, used safely in devices such as pacemakers. More recently, development is being done to serve as long-term power for devices such as cellphones and laptops.

CO2 to plastic

CO2 to fuel

CO2 has been touted by some as the single largest threat to life. I don't know if this is true or not.

What I do know is we can convert the CO2 into fuel for vehicles and into different forms of plastic.

So, why not set up businesses (new source of revenue) that take industrially created CO2 (from coal energy plants or industrial refineries) to create material that could be used in construction (plastic lasts longer than wood and can be reformed) and fuel for vehicles?

In looking at the age of Earth and the Universe, it really is not that long ago that we all had to think short-term to survive day to day.

We no longer have to hunt for food, farm or migrate.

We have much more time now to think, to create and to shape our future.

For us to master our evolution into energy we need to think long-term.

HeraclitusGreek Philosopher

Nothing endures but change. ~ Heraclitus

We need to take the step of becoming responsible.

Perhaps we start by experimenting or creating a system and buying components, part by part.

Perhaps we take advantage of subsidies or discounts offered by power companies or solar panel providers.

The most important thing is that we take that step. That we embrace the Age of Energy not only for ourselves but for the future.

If we change our thinking and behavior, we will overcome the Age of Energy and endure.
